Board approves 7-foot building-line variance at 1532 Cameron Drive for in-law addition
Summary
A 7-foot variance from a recorded plat building-line limit was approved for 1532 Cameron Drive to permit a corner addition that will house the applicant’s in-laws, with no HOA objections on record.
Oldham County’s Board of Adjustments approved a 7-foot variance Sept. 18 to allow a front-yard building-line encroachment at 1532 Cameron Drive so the homeowners can add an ADA-capable in-law suite.
Staff presented the request as a building-line limit variance: the subdivision’s recorded plat requires a 50-foot building-line setback while the county R-2 setback is 35 feet. The applicant proposed a 43-foot setback for the corner of the addition, yielding a 7-foot variance from the recorded plat.
Applicant Lance Meadows described the addition as housing his in-laws and enabling ADA-compliant access for a family member with special needs; he said the addition otherwise complies with HOA bylaws. Board members asked about septic and utility capacity and whether the HOA restricts the change; the applicants said the HOA reviewed bylaws and identified no rule preventing the addition.
Board members noted the addition is modest in scale and that no letters of opposition were filed. The motion to approve found that the requested variance arose from the lot shape and corner geometry and would not adversely affect public health, safety or the character of the neighborhood. The variance was approved and limited to the plans considered at the Sept. 18 hearing.
